almost one sided, our boys being defeated
by score of 10 to a.. Another game was
played early Saturday morning with
about the same result. The Donaldsville
Club is composed of clever set of boys,
and some Of them are fine ball players.
Our boys should organize and practice, or

The picAic at the iron bridge over Sem
,eca River, at Sloan's Ferry, on last satur-
day was well attended and was most
pleasant occasion. The crowd enjoyed
the pleasure of q day on the River, and
were interested in the bridge, which is
about completed. In the afternoon short
speeches were made by Messrs. E. B.
Murray, W.. FL. Frierson and w. A.
Brownlee. A surnptuous pic mic dinner
was provided, and the day passed most
pleasantly throughout.
An exchange says it is not often that we
have dry spring followed by dry fall.
It is probable that our fall gardens will be
good. Plant beans every three weeks on
to the middle of August. Squashes plant
ed now make fine fall crop and so do
cucumbers. If tomato seed are now
planted they will come on in time for a
late fall crop. Asa general, thing there is
always scarcity of garden vegetables in
September and October, just because the
gardeners fail to plant the seed.
One day last week Mr.. NJ. B. Heller, of
Fork Township, exhibited in our office q
model of a plow which he has recently
invented. 1t is reversible combination
cultivator, and Mr.. Heller claims that it
will do the work of three plows in laying
by cotton. It can be changed into side
harrow, double-foot or cultivator, and one
horse can pull it. Any kind of foot or
point can be attached to the stock, aud it
can be used in blowing one or three rows
at single passage The plow will cer-
tainly be favorite with the farmers.

A flash of lightning on Tuesday after
noon ignited some 1000 bales of cotton in
warehouse No. 1, at Pelzer Mills, in this
County, and rapidly consumed them.
The spread of the fire wes prevented by
water, 900 gallons per minute thrown by
the rotary engine. Capt. smythe thinks
a good deal of the cotton will be saved.
He says the employees of the mill worked
and bravely, and that by their
energy and quickness the fire was SUBJ
dued in remarkably short time. The
mill was at work again by o'clock in the
afternoon, and will not be shut down. All
the loss is covered by insurance in the
New England Mutuals. It will be be-.
tween $50, 1000 and 100000.
